Accumulation Studies at a High Elevation Glacier Site in Central Karakoram by Christoph Mayer, Astrid Lambrecht, Hans Oerter, Margit Schwikowski, Elisa Vuillermoz, Nicola Frank, Guglielmina Diolaiuti

“…Our trajectory calculations based on NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data confirm that especially during late spring and early summer the westerly flow is redirected over the Tarim basin to reach central Karakoram from an East/Southeast direction. The preservation of the layer structure and the clear seasonal signals in the snow pits indicate that locations above 5200 m in central Karakoram will be suitable places for retrieving longer climate records from ice cores.…”
